Luc Mbah a Moute indicates he could return to Rockets in second round

Near the end of the regular season, Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute suffered a dislocated right shoulder, the second such injury he sustained this season. The first one, which he suffered in December, sidelined him for a month. But before Game 2 of Houston’s playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he said that this most recent injury isn’t as bad as the last one, and he could be back in the second round of the playoffs.

Rockets F Luc Mbah a Moute said his dislocated right shoulder is "much better than last time." He missed a month earlier this season, but he doesn't expect to be out as long this time. He declined to be specific about a timetable but indicated the second round is a possibility.
